The Church of Evian

Background
The Church of Evian is led by the High Priest, who governs both the matters of church and state along with the High Council, the members of which are known as The Sparkling. In turn, The Sparkling enforce the edicts of the church via the common priesthood, known as The Stills. Often, the laypeople may rise in prominence within the church (many of St Pellegrino’s citizens do worship Evian). They have their own path of progression, from the common Vessels, to the esteemed Gobels, and finally the revered Chalices.

Contrary to popular belief, there is an order of Paladins devoted to Evian’s cause. However, they interfere little with the running of the city; most of the policing is done by the monks of Dettol serving their necessary service to the city. The Paladins serve their squirehood as Vessels, then slowly ascend the rungs of hierarchy, crossing over from the position of Chalices into Stills.
